optiGAN: a deep learning-based alternative to optical photon tracking in Python-based GATE (10+).

Physics in medicine and biology
To accelerate optical photon transport simulations in the GATE medical physics framework using a generative adversarial network (GAN), while ensuring high modeling accuracy. Traditionally, detailed optical Monte Carlo methods have been the gold stand...

Towards large nuclear imaging system optical simulations with optiGAN, a generative adversarial network.

Physics in medicine and biology
Optical Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are essential for modeling light transport in radiation detectors used in nuclear imaging and high-energy physics. However, full-system simulations remain computationally prohibitive due to the need to track optic...

Ultra-High-Resolution Photon-Counting-Detector CT with a Dedicated Denoising Convolutional Neural Network for Enhanced Temporal Bone Imaging.

AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Ultra-high-resolution (UHR) photon-counting-detector (PCD) CT improves image resolution but increases noise, necessitating the use of smoother reconstruction kernels that reduce resolution below the 0.125-mm maximum spatial re...
